Chris vs. Christophe (me vs. me)
Jun 25th
So, I decided to do some quick navel gazing and ego surfing by Googling my name, as I tend to do once in a while when I think about it. While it might seem vain, it’s not a bad practice once in a while to check that the information that people can find on you is conform to what you’d like them to see.
It’s quite interesting, though a little disconcerting, to see that, while all the top results in a Google query for my ‘real’ name (Christophe Laprun) still find pieces of ‘me’, these bits are less relevant than those More >
Tweaks
Mar 19th
I have tweaked this blog a little, thanks to the Redirection plugin! Quite a useful plugin, it allowed me to realize that lots of inbound links were actually not found anymore because of a different permalink configuration. This should be fixed now. I also re-directed feed URLs to point to something that can actually be used…
I also re-installed the Cross-Theme Stylesheets plugin to re-enable my custom styles. Not that big a deal but I’m quite fond of the way I highlight updates on my post when needed. I had to tweak the plug-in a little to make it work with Wordpress 2.7.1. More >
Metacosm reloaded!
Mar 9th
I finally took the time to upgrade my WordPress installation and import my old posts into the database to be able to reboot this blog which has stayed moribund for almost a year… Hopefully, I will not let it die again soon.
A lot has happened since last time I posted but this is for another time!
Ugh, I disappeared again…

For some reason, I just haven’t been interested in posting here. I have ideas but just let them slip, for now… In the mean time, go read my latest post on the dearth of open source JSR 168 portlets on JBoss Portal’s official blog.
Back from Europe
Aug 24th
I have spent almost a month in France, with a stop in London. Having the chance of being able to work from anywhere I can get internet access (thanks Red Hat!) allowed me to spend more time there than I had been able to in a long time. It was a very nice change of scenery (and well need mindset) and was able to do more things than usual. I will try to post about my trips in future post as I upload pictures on Flickr as well (already up are some London pictures). More later!

First post on JBoss Portal’s blog
Jun 29th
I have finally posted a post on JBoss Portal’s developer blog. It’s a short but sweet opinion piece about how iPhone’s support for full-fledged web browsing and Apple’s SDK stance could be an opportunity for Portal developers.
In other news, we (as in the Portal team) have been busy working on the GA release of JBoss Portal 2.6. This work should bear fruits real soon now and it has lots of new, cool features along with improvements all over. Watch JBoss Portal’s blog for an announcement soon.
Updated to WordPress 2.1
Feb 9th
I finally updated the software running this blog to WordPress 2.1 and, since it had been a while, it took me quite some time to port over all my plugins with the clumsy cPanel file manager… It seems like all went well but, in case it didn’t, let me know.
For all you spammer wannabees who seem so interested in this post, don’t bother, this blog runs on the latest version of Wordpress…
Beware!

The potentially enormous loss of time (I don’t consider it ‘wasted’) that can occur when starting to look at Wikipedia is something that I addressed in one of my very first posts… and is perfectly captured in the above drawing! I haven’t posted here in a while, so summoning memories of my beginning in blogging might start the engine back up!
Moved again…
Mar 28th
Posted by Chris in life in the us
This time virtually, not physically. Codepuccino has moved to a new hosting company (thanks Jerome ^_^).
Been quite busy lately (as you might be able to tell by the posting time of this blog) but I managed to squeeze in a couple of concerts. I missed Belle and Sebastian at the 930 club (though I managed to get the audio from NPR’s All Songs Considered) and I missed the Arctic Monkeys last night (damn!) but once again, NPR pulled through and recorded the show! Thanks, NPR! (I should really consider a donation). I managed to see Metric (who were, once again, excellent) and will be More >
